look for a corresponding side.. sides that are "similar" . how do the lengths compare?

if u look at the top part! the small one is 6 and the big one is 12! They are 6 ft apart

yes but you want the ratio of the big to the small..

the big trapezoid is 12 the small trapezoid is 6 . so the ratio is 12/6
